Evaluation of Two Training Programs Designed to Enhance Performance on the Army Combat Fitness Test Among ROTC Cadets

CONCLUSION: Three 60-minute sessions per week of moderate-high-intensity training elicited improvements in ACFT scores, with no statistically significant differences between training programs. For this population of ROTC cadets, implementing a structured training program with expert oversight appears to be effective. Based on the successes and unanticipated challenges encountered in this study, training programs that emphasize intensity, train a wide variety of movements, maximize adherence, and are adaptable to a variety of situations are likely to be successful at improving ACFT scores.PMID:35064262 | DOI:10.1093/milmed/usac015
